Circus is the fourth studio album by American rock musician Lenny Kravitz, released in 1995 by Virgin Records.

Kravitz is quoted as saying that the making of the album was a very tedious process—he was unhappy with the music business at the time, and his mother's illness was also weighing on his mind.

Rob Wagner of The Tech stated, "Though Circus is a bit of a rip-off album, it could be justified.

Two things are for sure: Circus definitely sounds better than his last album, and it is infinitely better than any inane drivel released by Live.

"[14] Mark Kemp of Rolling Stone stated, "Whereas Kravitz's last album at least offered several possible new paths for him, Circus finds him falling back on the most transparent one.
